Movies and Filming



Storyboarding

  • Get 1 Storyboard sheet from the table by the printer

  • You do not have to be the best artist but your notes need to have COLOR and show the correct shot/angle (you can use stick figures)
    • If you absolutely do not want to draw, you can find images in the class magazines and paste them onto the StoryBoard
    • Label each type of shot/angle
    • When ALL 10 are done, come and show it to Mrs. Ferris for credit.

Remember--What you see on the screen is in the box, what you HEAR needs to be written on the lines below. This includes music, dialogue, sound effects, anything you HEAR


Film Critique
